Scrambled
Cable-TV
Channels
Some cable-TV
decoders
require that you manually
switch
from regular to scrambled
channels on the decoder
whenever
you wish to view the premium
pay channels.
By connecting
the decoder to the ANTA
input and
CONVERTER
output on the TV as shown here, you can
switch between
the scrambled
and unscrambled
channels
using the remote
control.
To change the incoming
signal from ANTA
to ANTB,
simply press the ANT (Antenna)
button on the remote.
Each
time you press the ANTbutton,
the channel
numbers
will
change color on the screen to show which antenna
signal
you are watching.
* Optional
accessories
are available
from most RCA dealers
and
electronics
supply stores.
